Will went to his first birthday party on Sunday. (The first kids’ birthday for me and Paul, too!) The birthday boy (William) is the eldest child of one of my peers in the PhD program (we’ve taken the boys to the zoo together — there are posts about this in the December archives.) William turned 4, so most of the kids at the party were around this age (except for a 6 month old baby, Will was the youngest.) The party was held at a gymnastics center (GREAT idea) and the kids played on an obstacle course, then were lead in fun activities (walking like a crab, keeping a balloon in the air with your elbows, etc.) and then birthday cake. A perfect 90 minutes! AND, Will left with a great fireman’s hat and goody bag. (He loves the fireman’s cap… particularly wearing it backwards. In fact, the fireman’s cap was worn tonight during our evening trip playing “Around” the block.)
In this picture, Will is holding his balloon and watching all the other kids keep theirs in the air!
